Testifying before a Se- nate appropriations sub- committee, Haig said it would be "difficult to pre- dict" when the proposal for the sale of enhanced equip- ment for F-15s and AWACS surveillance planes would be ready. When committee chairman Sen. Lowell Weicker (R-Conn.) asked 'him if the proposal would be submitted to Congress this year, Haig replied, "I wouldn't even want to pre- We Make Our Own Glasses HEADQUARTERS FOR IM LATEST DOMESTIC AND 'ft./ PORTED FRAME FASHIONS totool l • • PRESCRIPTIONS FOR GLASSES ACCURATELY FILLED • DESIGNER FRAMES 110% SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT • Reasonably Priced Immediate Repair ROSEN OPTICAL SERVICE 13720 W. 9 MILE nr.

Criticism against the proposed sales continued to mount. Twelve U.S. Air Force pilots in New Mexico wrote to Rep. Tom Lantos (R-Calif.) to protest the pro- posal to sell the Saudis Sidewinder air-to-air mis- siles. The unstable political situation in Iran and throughout the Middle East led to the com- promising of our F-14 aircraft, Phoenix air-to- air missiles 'and our Hawk surface-to-air mis- siles," the pilots charged. "We do not want the technology of the AIM9L (Sidewinder) to leak to the Soviets through lack of se- curity in Saudi Arabia or through some closed-door bargaining session." The pilots added, "We at the user level can attest that the AIM9L thrusts the American fighter pilot a very large step ahead in air combat over any other mili- tary force." Democrats have been particularly critical of the Reagan Administration proposal to sell weapons to the Saudis. The proposal was criticized this week by former Vice President Wal- ter Mondale and New York Mayor Edward Koch. Sen. Joseph Biden (D- Del.) told the Zionist Organization of America last weekend that Israel and American Jewry were partially to blame because they did not im- mediately oppose the Re- agan Administration proposal. Late last week, Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky confirmed that his country is negotiating the sale of Kuerassier light tanks to the Saudis. Israel reacted with an immediate note of protest. It was also learned that an Austrian firm may sell a new 155 mm cannon to Algeria and Jordan. A West German news- paper reported last week that the U.S. will supply Saudi Arabia with 200 XM1 THE FINEST AND LARGEST POOL BUILDER IN THE MIDWEST tanks, manufactured by Chrysler Corp. if West Germany does not sell its Leopard II tanks to the Saudis. American observers dis- counted the report since the XM1 has just begun produc- tion and the U.S. military is not expected to receive its full allotment for a number of years. Almost a quarter of a century of supplying discriminating buyers has earned an unequaled reputation for Miami Pools.

JEWISH NATIONAL FUND, 27308 Southfield Rd. Southfield, Mich. 48076 557-6644 TEL AVIV (JTA) — A sPecial unit of the Israel police has files on some 200,000 Nazi war criminals still at large and has been instrumental in bringing about 3,000 of them to trial in countries around the world, the unit's comman- der, Inspector Menahem Russek, told Israel Radio in a special Heroes and Mar- tyrs Memorial Day inter- view. He said the eight police officers in the unit were all former inmates in Nazi con- centration camps and each was responsible for the region in which they had been imprisoned. The unit was born out of the team that hunted down and prepared evidence against Adolf Eichmann. All it took was a couple of miracle workers, a lot of team going on time more times than ever before.
